Druids draw Power from the primal energy lingering in all living things. They possess shapeshifting abilities that allow them to adapt to various combat scenarios and a diverse selection of natural spells from their unique spellbook. Their Archetypes allow them to focus on furthering their shapeshifting abilities, a pet/summoner based playstyle, or an offensive elemental spellcaster.
- Maximizing Strength or Dexterity is recommended if you want to focus on attacking with weapons and using Maneuvers like Knockdown. It also provides bonuses to your Fortitude or Reflex save.
- Maximizing Wisdom is recommended if you want to focus on your spellcasting ability (Offensive DCs, Spells/day, Metamagic Pool). Wisdom also contributes to your Will save.
- Dexterity allows you to maximize Armor Class from light/medium armors and improves your Reflex save.
- Constitution increases your survivability in raw hit points and contributing to your Fortitude save.
- Intelligence contributes to your maximum Maneuver pool and Reflex save.
- Charisma contributes to your Will save and support Maneuvers such as "Commander Strike".

Druid Core Mechanics
Metamagic: Conversion
The character receives the Conversion feat for free.
Wildshape
A druid can transform themselves into beasts of the wild. By means of a successful Animal Handling check, the druid receives a totem of that form. Using this totem consumes 2 Wildshape and transforms the druid into that animal, gaining an amount of temporary hitpoints per druid level and properties relevant to the animal's role as listed below. However, the druid cannot cast spells while wildshaped. Using the Wildshape feat itself will instantly transform the druid into whatever last shape they used.
Using the totem again cancels the transformation, as does using the Wildshape feat, or another totem to take a new form. Losing the temporary hitpoints granted by the Wildshape will also revert the druid to their true form.
This ability may be used once per rest per Druid level plus Wisdom modifier, and regains 1 use upon slaying 3 non-minion foes.

Archetypes
Invoker
"The land answers my call."
Class Level | Feature | Details |
---|---|---|
4 | Invocation | You gain a new resource pool, Invocation, with a capacity of [10 + Wisdom Modifier]. This gains points equal to a harmful spell's level upon casting. You may use this feat to target yourself, or a point within 10m.
|
7 | Leylines | Your Invocation damage increases to 2d4, your base capacity to 15, and you may now place a second. This draws a Leyline between that Invocation and any others you have placed within 10m. Creatures who pass through this Leyline are slowed by 90% for 3 rounds. |
10 | Convergence | Your Invocation damage increases to 2d6, your base capacity to 20, and you may now place a third. Any creatures within the triangle formed by three Invocations will be stunned for one round every round if they fail their will save. The DC is equal to that of your Invocations. |

4 | Master of Many Forms | Your Wildshape now functions differently from the typical druid's in several ways:
Skirmisher: You gain one bonus attack per round for one minute. Lurker: Upon a successful Sneak Attack, you inflict a potent supernatural corrosion. This deals Negative Energy damage equal to your Druid level every 3 seconds, for 3 rounds. This does not stack, with further applications instead refreshing the duration. Controller: For one minute, upon striking a target, they must succeed at a save versus your cantrip DC or suffer the effects of Blindness for 1 round. Applicable Metamagic you know is applied without cost. Soldier: You receive 30% multiplicative physical damage immunity. You also receive Damage Resistance to all damage with a Threshold equal to 5 + your Druid level, a Magnitude equal to 8 points per Druid level, and a duration of one minute. Artillery: Once per round for one minute, you automatically fire a volley of spines at targets within 10m of your attack target. If you have no current attack target, the nearest enemy is selected instead. You create one spine per Druid level, with each inflicting 1d4 physical damage. These are split evenly amongst the available targets, with priority given to your target and those nearest it. These benefits are lost when shifting from one form to another. |
7 | Peak Performance | Upon shifting to a form with Form Mastery active, you now receive the Form Mastery benefits of your previous form for 3 rounds - provided that form was of a different role. |
10 | Evershifting Form | The base bonuses you receive from creature roles are now doubled. |
Wildspeaker
"Lend your ear to the wilds."
Class Level | Feature | Details |
---|---|---|
4 | Beast Bond | Your powerful bond with the wilds has granted you the benefit of a nature spirit taking beast form. Use this feat on yourself to choose your companion type (default wolf). You may summon this beast for free once per rest. Should the companion perish, it may be resummoned with this feat for the cost of one Wildshape. |
7 | Fervent Ally | Your Beast Bond creates a beast of Elite rating. |
10 | Nature Speaks | Target your bonded beast once more with the Beast Bond feat. For the cost of one Wildshape, your ally gains the attributes of a Solo rated creature of its role for 3 rounds. |
